Chloë Hanslip and Danny Driver | Bach Series I

The first in an exclusive series of concerts celebrating the creative genius of Johann Sebastian Bach.

JS Bach is regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time. Part of a large family of German musicians, he was an outstanding harpsichordist and organist. His compositions, such as the Brandenburg Concertos and ‘The Well-Tempered Clavier’, are revered all over the world.

In the first of their Bach series for Turner Sims, violinist Chloë Hanslip and pianist Danny Driver delve into JS Bach’s works for solo violin. His six sonatas and partitas have inspired many composers, including Ysaÿe and Cesar Franck.

Violinist Chloë Hanslip first performed at Turner Sims in 2002, aged 15, a year after her BBC Proms debut. She has gone on to perform at major venues across the UK and Europe, as well as Carnegie Hall and Metropolitan Arts Space in Tokyo.

Pianist Danny Driver is recognised internationally as an artist of sophistication, insight and musical depth. He has performed with orchestras across the globe including the BBC Scottish Symphony, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Halle, Bournemouth Symphony and American Symphony.

Join us to hear these intricate and emotional works performed by two Turner Sims favourites.
